Ky nang & thanh tuu

Which skills do you think will matter most in the next twenty years? The ones that don't automate well, which I'd guess are judgement under uncertainty and the ability to explain something clearly to someone who disagrees. Technical skills matter, obviously, but they change every few years. Explaining and deciding have been valuable for centuries and I can't see that reversing. Is it better to learn a skill from a teacher or by yourself? A teacher is worth most at the start and at plateaus. At the beginning you can't tell good practice from bad, so learning alone means building habits you'll have to unlearn. In the middle, self-study is usually more efficient. Then when you stop improving, a teacher sees the thing you can't see about yourself. Why do many people give up before they master a skill? Because progress isn't linear and expectations are. The early stage improves fast, then there's a long flat period where effort produces almost nothing visible, and most people read that flat period as evidence they lack talent. It's usually just the shape of learning.
